Whereas many researchers still approach Terra Preta (TP) as a soil category, new evidence suggests that TP refers to a directional grading of soil property changes (i.e., color, pH, nutrients, etc.) within human-made soils, originating from human activities in pre-Columbian times. Currently, most TP research focuses on the Brazilian part of the Amazon basin, but only little information is available on TP soils in the Colombian Amazon. Here, we sampled four TP and surrounding soils in the Colombian Amazon region at different soil depths and analyzed them for (i) general soil properties such as color, pH and texture, (ii) soil organic carbon and black carbon (BC) contents, the latter using benzene polycarboxylic acids as molecular marker, (iii) phosphorus availability based on sequential fractionation, and (iv) microbial residue contents using amino sugars. Our data from Colombia’s middle Caquetá River and Leticia confirmed that SOC, BC, and total P were present in significantly higher concentrations in the TP areas than the surrounding soils, while pH values and microbial residue contents were unchanged. The enrichment of P forms comprised both easily extractable and stable P pools, which both dominated to a different degree, both in TP and adjacent soils. The different degree of SOC, BC and P enrichment suggests different amounts of waste disposal by the ancient populations at different TP sites, now warranting further research for reconstructing ancient population sizes from TP chemical analyses.

亚马逊西北部(哥伦比亚)的 Terra Preta Properties

尽管许多研究人员仍在研究Terra Preta(TP) 作为土壤类别,新证据表明 TP 是指人造土壤中土壤性质变化(即颜色、pH、养分等)的定向分级,源于前哥伦布时代的人类活动。目前,大多数 TP 研究集中在亚马逊盆地的巴西部分,但关于哥伦比亚亚马逊地区的 TP 土壤的信息很少。在这里,我们对哥伦比亚亚马逊地区不同土壤深度的四个 TP 和周围土壤进行了采样,并分析了它们的 (i) 一般土壤特性,如颜色、pH 值和质地,(ii) 土壤有机碳和黑碳 (BC) 含量,后者使用苯多羧酸作为分子标记,(iii) 基于顺序分馏的磷可用性,以及 (iv) 使用氨基糖的微生物残留物含量。我们来自哥伦比亚卡克塔河中游和莱蒂西亚的数据证实,在 TP 地区,SOC、BC 和总 P 的浓度显着高于周围土壤,而 pH 值和微生物残留物含量没有变化。P 形式的富集包括容易提取和稳定的 P 库,两者都在不同程度上占主导地位,无论是在 TP 还是邻近土壤中。不同程度的 SOC、BC 和 P 富集表明不同TP 地点的古代种群处理的废物量不同,现在需要进一步研究以通过 TP 化学分析重建古代种群规模。而 pH 值和微生物残留量没有变化。P 形式的富集包括易于提取和稳定的 P 库,两者都在不同程度上占主导地位,无论是在 TP 还是邻近土壤中。不同程度的 SOC、BC 和 P 富集表明不同TP 地点的古代种群处理的废物量不同,现在需要进一步研究以从 TP 化学分析重建古代种群规模。而 pH 值和微生物残留量没有变化。P 形式的富集包括易于提取和稳定的 P 库,两者都在不同程度上占主导地位,无论是在 TP 还是邻近土壤中。不同程度的 SOC、BC 和 P 富集表明不同TP 地点的古代种群处理的废物量不同,现在需要进一步研究以通过 TP 化学分析重建古代种群规模。
